I would see the proposal I made to use wine more in ‘dirty hack’ territory than something we should try to recommend as standard. Far nicer, as others have suggested in this thread, would be to implement missing analysis functionality as core QGIS processing algorithms or lean on our existing integrations like SAGA/R/GRASS etc.
